Slotty: Charm Roguelike

Android · Free · Out now

Lucky charms bend the odds. Build your engine, beat the target, survive the run.

A roguelike where your build is a machine full of lucky symbols. Think deckbuilder, but your deck spins. Every run starts with a plain machine and a score to beat. Hit the target, then spend what you earned on charms that make clovers land more often, turn clouds into wild rainbows or double every line.

Miss a target and the run is over. You keep your stars, spend them on permanent upgrades and try a different build. No in-app purchases, no energy, no timers, and it plays fully offline.

Cardborne

Windows and macOS · Free demo on Steam · Early Access coming soon

A grim single-player card roguelike where every draw decides your fate.

Every room deals you cards from one fixed deck. Diamonds are weapons, hearts heal you, clubs and spades are out to kill you. A weapon can only fight a card of equal or lower value than the last one it beat, so the order you fight in is the whole game.

Those falling chains score as poker hands: pairs, straights and flushes heal you and give you XP. Each level up offers three jokers that bend the rules. Keep up to five and push on to the boss waiting at the bottom of the deck. The art is drawn by hand or licensed from other artists, and the game plays fully with a controller.

Get the free demo on Steam

If you like the demo, a wishlist on Steam helps a lot. It is how Steam decides who gets to see the game.
